Location:
Rushden is a well-established market town located to the south-east of Northampton and to the north of Bedford. It forms part of the wider Rushden Higham area and lies within the Nene Valley, with surrounding countryside providing a predominantly rural backdrop.

The town benefits from good road connectivity. The A6 runs through Rushden, providing direct access to Bedford and Kettering, while the A45 dual carriageway links to Northampton, Wellingborough and the M1 motorway (Junction 15), facilitating onward travel to Milton Keynes and London. Mainline rail services are available from Wellingborough station, offering direct routes to London St Pancras International in under an hour.

Rushden offers a broad range of day-to-day amenities including supermarkets, independent retailers, schools for all age groups, healthcare facilities and leisure provision. Rushden Lakes, located on the edge of the town, provides a substantial retail and leisure destination with national brands, restaurants and waterside walks. The area is also well served by primary and secondary schooling, making it popular with families, alongside established residential neighbourhoods and newer developments.

The surrounding countryside, including Stanwick Lakes and the River Nene corridor, offers extensive walking, cycling and nature reserves, contributing to the town's appeal for those seeking a balance between accessible commuter links and access to open space.

Accommodation:
Entrance Hall
Entered via a partially glazed door. Ceramic tiled flooring with plastered masonry walls. A quarter-turn winder staircase rises to the first-floor accommodation with solid balustrade detailing. Full internal redecoration required.

Sitting Room
Positioned to the front right-hand side of the property, the sitting room features a double casement window with a central mullion, providing good natural light. The floor is currently fitted with cut-pile carpet, which is in need of replacement. There is also a fireplace with an open-flame gas fire (not tested).

Kitchen
Located to the rear left-hand side of the property, the kitchen offers space for a good range of base and wall units. It is currently fitted with basic, worn units which a purchaser is likely to replace as part of refurbishment. Flooring is sheet vinyl, with plastered walls finished in skim and emulsion; full redecoration is required. A wall-mounted gas-fired boiler is positioned to the rear right-hand side of the kitchen (not tested). A part-glazed rear door with a top-hung side light provides good natural light and access to the rear garden. A further part-glazed pine-panel door leads through to the dining room.

Dining Room
Overlooking the rear garden, the dining room benefits from a three-panel casement window providing good natural light. Walls are partially decorated. The original fireplace has been blocked and vented. The floor is finished in riven slate-effect ceramic tiles. The radiator requires reinstatement.

First Floor Landing
Centrally positioned, the first-floor landing incorporates solid balustrading to the stairwell. Single-glazed toplights above the internal doors provide borrowed natural light. A useful laundry/airing cupboard, accessed via a panelled door, houses the hot water cylinder and is fitted with slatted pine shelving.

Bedroom 1
A good-sized double bedroom with a double casement window and central mullion overlooking the green space towards Headingley Road. Walls are partly finished with decorative lining paper, and the floor is fitted with cut-pile carpet.

Bedroom 2
A further good-sized double bedroom positioned to the rear right-hand side of the property, with a three-unit window overlooking the garden. Walls are partly finished with decorative lining paper, and the floor is fitted with cut-pile carpet.

Bedroom 3
A single bedroom, equally suitable as a home office or study. There is built-in overstairs storage accessed via panelled double doors and fitted with a hanging rail. The floor is finished with timber-effect laminate boards, and the walls are partly finished with decorative lining paper.

Bathroom
Located to the rear left-hand side of the property, with a frosted window to the rear aspect. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a bath with electric shower over, pedestal wash-hand basin with chrome pillar taps, and close-coupled WC. Walls are partly finished in ceramic tiling and the floor is laid with sheet vinyl.

Grounds:
Front Aspect
Set back from Headingley Road, the property is approached via a shared pedestrian pathway with a picket gate leading into the front garden. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with perimeter shrub planting, now in need of cutting back. The pathway continues through a shared passageway with gated access to the rear garden, and also runs along the front elevation to the main entrance, which sits beneath a profiled concrete canopy.

Rear Garden
A concrete path provides access to the kitchen via a separate part-glazed door, offering convenient rear entry. Immediately to the rear of the house is a hardstanding area suitable for seating, although vegetation growth requires cutting back. The main garden is arranged with a central gravel path and grassed areas to either side, both now in need of attention. Boundary treatment is predominantly close-board fencing, with a number of fence panels in poor condition, particularly to the rear and left-hand sides.

Outbuildings
The property includes a substantial brick outbuilding under a concrete deck flat roof, incorporating a small corner canopy. Ledged and slatted timber doors with Suffolk latches open into the main section, which has been opened up to provide a good-sized space with potential for use as a workshop or home office (subject to any consents required). The room is served by two top-hung casement windows, with an additional ledged and braced door to the side aspect. A separate former WC area now provides useful storage, accessed via a further slatted timber door.
